I wore them in really hard downpours only to have my hands slide out of them nice and dry and not looking like prunes. The lining doesn't bunch up and slide out with my fingers either (as many waterproof gloves do), and my skin retained its normal flesh tone instead of various hues of black dye.

These comfortable wrist-length gloves have pre-curved fingers, amara cloth panels (a durable suede-like material) on the fingers and palms for grip, a zippered closure down the outside of the hand, and reflective strips for better visibility during cold, dark riding days. They also make nice windproof cool weather-riding gloves.

Cycle Diva Performance Eyewear
If you'd like to add a little bling to your motorcycle ride, the Cycle Diva glasses could be just your ticket. These fashionable motorcycle sunglasses feature rhinestone trim on the frames -- just enough to add a bit of glam to your attitude.

A bit of feminine glitz catches the light at the temples of these Cycle Diva sunglasses.

But on the serious side, these black, glossy wrap sunglasses feature Italian craftsmanship, metal hinges, and smoke-colored lenses to provide the truest picture of actual light -- along with UV sun protection. While my sensitive peepers prefer goggle style glasses to keep protected from the air, the Cycle Diva glasses did an adequate job of protecting my eyes with little air creeping in. They're worth checking out to see if they fit your face. They're fun to wear and will definitely invite compliments.

Harley-Davidson's Cycle Diva Performance Eyewear with the smoked lenses retails for $75. Visit Harley-Davidson.com to find a dealer near you.

Reader Comments

I bought these glasses but in the transitional lens. They are the greatest pair of glasses I have ever invested in. I don't have to carry two pairs of glasses, dark for the day, clear for the night, then end up scratching one or both pairs. I'm one of those folks who get a new pair every season because they end up getting scratched.

There is a small bit of air that gets around the frames, but they fit well, nothing like goggles, though. The frame design is very appealing. I just love them. For the money, I would go for the transitional lens and not have the worry of changing glasses when dusk arrives. What I spent on these was well worth it in the end.
